PAX® Allergy Test for Pets

If your patient/ your pet is showing signs of allergies, getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward relief. Once your veterinarian has ruled out other possible causes, a blood test can help confirm whether your patient/ your pet has allergies - and identify eactly what they're reacting to. A thorough physical exam and detailed medical history are also important parts of the process, helping to determine whether your patient's/ your pet's allergy is related to food, the environment, or something else. With the right information, you can move forward with a treatment plan that brings real comfort and long-term results.

Before diagnosing an allergy, your vet will first rule out other possible causes of your patient's/ your pet's symptoms. If allergies are suspected, the next step is a blood test to identify what your patient/ your pet is allergic to.

We use the PAX® (Pet Allergy Xplorer) test—one of the most advanced and reliable allergy tests available. It looks at your patient's/ your pet’s immune response to both whole allergens (like pollen or dust mites) and their individual components, giving a much clearer picture of what’s really causing the reaction. This precise method helps us understand your patient's/ your pet's unique sensitivities, so we can create the most effective allergy treatment plan—whether that means specific immunotherapy or avoiding certain allergens altogether.

PAX® Serum Test

When other triggers of the symptoms are ruled out, atopy is diagnosed. The next step is to perform an IgE serum test to identify the responsible allergens. We provide the gold standard in allergy testing through the PAX® (Pet Allergy Xplorer) test.  

PAX® is the first commercial serological IgE-specific test that uses allergen extracts and molecular components to identify allergen sensitivities. Molecular allergology is a state-of-the-art approach to the detection of sensitisations, whereby defined single allergen components are used for the determination of specific IgE in place of traditionally-used allergen extracts. The molecular components are purified or recombinant proteins that provide a higher level of standardisation than allergen extracts and enable a more precise identification of IgE sensitisations. This is a fundamental step to develop a relevant immunotherapy treatment or implement allergen-avoidance measures.

Food testing with PAX® & Elimination trial

Many pets react to allergens found in both their food and the environment. In fact, about one-third of pets with environmental allergies (atopy) also suffer from food allergies. To help identify potential food triggers, veterinarians often recommend an elimination trial —a carefully controlled feeding plan where certain ingredients are removed and gradually reintroduced. The PAX® (Pet Allergy Xplorer) test supports this process by detecting IgE sensitivities to specific molecular food allergens. This helps pinpoint which foods might cause immediate allergic reactions and guides the selection of safer ingredients for food trials.  

Sample Handling Procedure for PAX® Complete/ SPOT Platinum+ testing

Step 1
Contact Alfamedic to arrange sample collection.

Step 2
Samples will be sent to Nextmune in the USA for PAX® Complete / SPOT Platinum+ testing.
(The Asia Pacific regional panel includes grasses, weeds, trees, fungi, epidermals, house dust, foods, indoor allergens, insects, flea, Staph, and Malassezia.)

Step 3
A report will be generated with a customized allergy profile. Recommendations will be included for food allergies.

Step 4
A specific treatment set (3 vials for hyposensitization or 1 vial for sublingual use) can be ordered for the identified allergens, excluding food, Staph, and indoor allergens. The treatment set includes an Allergy Treatment Diary.
